As police cracked down on anti-war protests on college campuses across the US in recent weeks, among those arrested were a pair of silver-haired 65-year-old professors armed only with their cell phones.
Annelise Orleck was knocked to the ground and restrained with plastic handcuffs at a protest at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. She later complained of whiplash.
Steve Tamari was tackled by officers and taken into custody at a demonstration at Washington University in St. Louis, an attack he said resulted in multiple broken ribs and a broken hand.
Orleck and Tamari are among at least 50 professors arrested at campus protests across the country, according to a CNN review of police records, court filings, and news reports. (Since April 18, more than 2,400 students have been arrested amid protests on more than 50 campuses.) In some cases, professors said they were actively participating in protests based on their own beliefs. Others said they attended to show support for their students.
So…
About twice as many as 1/6?

Peacefully protesting Biden’s pet genocide is getting treated twice as strict as trump trying to prevent Biden from taking office. And a hell of a lot faster.
Negotiating with “moderate” Dems doesn’t work, they’ve spent too long cozzi g up to republicans, they think k like them now. Why listen to protestors when you can just use violence? What are they going to do, not vote Biden?
Love how you foreign agents immediately make it all about Biden. Is he the King of Israel or King of America? Pretty sure it’s neither. Shut up already with the propaganda
👏👏👏
givesomefucks spews the same narrative on every post, regardless of relevance. They wrote a wall of text about Biden and Israel on a post about the NYPD manipulating disciplinary records. Just unrelated nonsense.
Further down, I commented the identical response I made the last time they compared Biden’s criticism of disorderly conduct to Trump’s criticism of BLM protests. Just the same baseless claims over and over.
Hi, foreign agent here.
I am part of a secret plot to manipulate the US in a devious plan to…. check notes… get Biden to stop directly enabling genocide by continuously bringing up and forcing him to deal with it politically instead of just sweeping 50,000+ innocent Palestinians lives under the rug.
It is the perfect evil plan.
Well is he the President? Is he the leader of the government? Is he the one that continues to pledge weapons and money to Israel and continue to block Palestine at the UN? Is he the one that held back the state department report on Israeli war crimes committed with US weapons and now had it toned down to “yeah we think they did, but we aren’t entirely sure.” Is he the one whose ambassador recently assured the Israeli government that he is a fully convinced Zionist? Is he the one that made bogus claims about antisemitism and violent protests?
Or is he just some poor slop that has nothing to do with all of this?
Bad take
Acting like biden is powerless in this when he has gone around congress to fund israel is willfully ignoring the truth.
Calling people foreign agents is also just shit brained. Rather than arguing a point, it just says “hey, u are (maybe) not American, we can ignore you”. Or just saying “Hey, ignore this guy, because I said he’s not American.” Plus, it holds less water when america has constantly interfered in so many other countries. Imagine saying a palestinian shouldn’t have a say in american politics when america has stances on Palestinian politics.
Ah yes, local police forces who have their own jurisdiction arresting protesters on the spot is exactly the same as Trump hampering the federal response necessary to deal with the Jan 6th traitors who were allowed to disperse.
We get it, you want Trump to win. You are indeed very smart.
We don’t want Trump to win. We want an end to the genocide and justice for the Palestinian people. Why do the Dems and you prefer Trump to win over ending a fucking genocide?
The administration had every chance and still has every chance to end this genocide and work towards justice. They choose every day to let it continue, giving token pledges at best.
Biden is saying the same shit trump said about BLM…
Calling peaceful protestors violent and making shit up.
And yes, during BLM Biden and everyone else made multiple comments about how important protesting in, and how they’d protect our rights to peaceful protests.
But that hasn’t been addressed either.
And yes, the federal government is supposed to have over site of local police.
Like, Ahmad Abrey is a pretty famous example, but it’s pretty common.
Yup. Practically indistinguishable.
